Each year Tsering's Fund Vice President, Mary Grace Wilkus and Tsering's Fund volunteers select 10 young women from our sponsored student family and take them on a trip to see things they would otherwise never experience. These trips allow the girls to feel safe and loved while they learn more about their country and their future role in it. It allows an opportunity for deep conversations with mentors there to inspire and empower. 

What does it mean to empower these young women? Simply put, there is power in knowledge. It is why we at Tsering’s Fund are so passionate about seeing young Nepali girls being educated.

There is power in understanding your body and how it works; how menstruation works. Power in understanding and breaking the stigma of menstrual taboos and discrimination. There is power in understanding sex, love, and life. There is power in knowing your worth; in knowing you are your husbands equal, in knowing that your mind is brilliant, and that you have the capability of supporting yourself financially and breaking the cycle of poverty. And there is power in understanding the light within yourself. How you are capable of spreading that light among your peers and holding one another accountable. 

For the majority of these young women coming from incredibly poor and often remote villages, the plane flight and hotel accommodations are an exciting first! From riding elephants, jeep safaris, learning to swim, and games emphasizing teamwork/self esteem; the girls will experience things they will never forget. They will leave finding themselves empowered. 

We believe that empowered women empower women. And that is what Hero Camp aims to do. Heroes creating Heroes.
